john joins me now from providence, rhode island. we were talking a couple of months ago here at cnn about this book of yours and i immediately, when i saw the news out of brazil, i thought of you, rhode island, the pyrotechnics, the foam you brought in to show us how highly flammable it was. there were many similarities, were there not? >> hello, brooke, yes. this is like a recurrent nightmare. there were many parallel facts, at least as brazil's situation has been reported. >> run through a couple of them. what else? what else was similar? >> well, according to initial reports we have improper use of pyrotechnics in an unsuitable venue, we have flammable wall coverings, we have gross overcrowding as we had at the station. and we have staff that seems woefully undertrained to deal with emergencies. >> i read your opinion piece on cnn.com and you wrote this, you would think the world would have learned from it, you would be wrong. you go through what happened in rhode island what happened in bangkok, russia, argentina. what needs to

john mccain himself said it was a wake-up call. that's why i'm told that lindsey graham, the senator from south carolina, who has kind of been in and out of putting comprehensive immigration reform, gone on the phone right after the election with democrat chuck schumer and said let's revive our bipartisan talks. they had a meeting shortly thereafter in november and then they've had a total i'm told five meetings since then. the last one was last wednesday. ands that when they decided to go ahead with this. and chuck schumer actually called the president last night to say that we're going to push this. you mentioned 2007. one thing that i'm going to be fascinated by is i was actually sitting in the same exact room that they're going to be in today back in 2007 when they had this big bipartisan event, ted kennedy was there, john mccain was there. of course, that went south big time. it will be sbvery interesting t see how they refer to that and see how different things are, particularly are republicans. >> i want to bring in brianna

>> reporter: not yet, john. in fact, right behind me over my left shoulder is the nightclub kiss and inside right now investigators are coming through the rubble looking for clues. they're fairly sure it's related to this pyrotech nicks show. someone apparently had fireworks in their hands. but the investigation continues. i have to say, what's scary about this whole thing, once you get over and look at this nightclub it only has a single entrance and exit. it's squeezed between two buildings. no lateral exits. no exit out of the back. it's a narrow door. when you have 1,000, 2,000 packed into this space at night, the lights are on and off, in some ways this was a tragedy announced you wonder how anyone could have gotten these people out. >> a sea of chaos must have been unimaginable. one of the most disturbing things that we're hearing that security guards may have been blocking people, why might this be? >> well, we have seen a lot, especially on social media, facebook, people commenting at the very beginning

they met five times, john mccain's office and chuck schumer's office. and they came up with what ended up as a pretty comprehensive bipartisan proposaproposal. there are some things left on the table but they got comfortable enough so that i'm told chuck schumer called the president yesterday and said we have this. we're going to unveil it and we're going to do it tomorrow, meaning this afternoon. now, there are some things that they still have to work out. some very, very sticky things, carol, like how you actually define border security and a secure border. and how you define that path to citizenship. for example, marco rubio says that he does not want attorney crease the number of green cards for what would be 11 million new people here who would be eligible for those and democrats say that they do want to do that. those are some examples of pretty deep differences but by and large this is the most comprehensive bipartisan agreement that we've seen in years and years. >> all right. dana bash reporting live from washington. and president obama will un
